Poisons
Deathberries, also known as "yew," can kill an animal within minutes if eaten. However, it is used as a last resort when an animal needs to kill an infection, and when that happens, the seed should carefully be removed and the berry's flesh should be consumed.
Foxglove seeds have no medicinal effect, but when consumed can lead to coma, paralysis, heart failure, or even death.
Holly berries also have no medicinal effect, but if consumed can lead to vomiting, loss of appetite, or belly pain. If taken in a dose too big or a cat is very young or very old, it is very deadly.
